Boxer's 'Special' Rush (P2 of 2) Pimpest Plays 2002

[@CouveTJ]

Blinding the observer made my day. I absolutely love it when people use medic's abilities since they are so tricky and normally not worth it.

[@Coolernl]

Omg the floating enginering bay over the silo, that's just 100% pure skill.

[@andthatsforthewin]

If you look at all the details in the replay... its not the build that's amazing, its the unbelievable execution by Boxer

[@CholeraSC]

Yes, it can be. A Nuke will take out 500 hp OR 2/3 of a building's TOTAL health, whatever is greater. In this case, after the EMP the Nex has 750 hp, and the nuke will take out 2/3 * 1500 = 1000 hp. You can see the results of this in the game...

[@Gerbilkit]

I'm pretty sure that this was a fan game. Some fan got to play against Boxer for fun.

[@dangerfield6855]

Love how it's a game played somewhere in between winning as fast as possible and actually building valuable buildings and units and winning

[@CholeraSC]

I do remember that game from the PP list, I'll see if I can find a workable replay / old executable to run it. Thanks for your comment!

[@SiouxTube]

I've actually seen this before but I didn't know Boxer was the one who performed this beautiful ploy here with the nuke.

[@CholeraSC]

What a bunch of tools saying this isn't a real game. I've updated the video description with links to the Pimpest Play listing and another site describing this public game. He's playing an amateur, but it's definitely Boxer.

[@vitaminamulti]

The two medics keep the one marine alive as well. Crazy unit mix. Every single unit has a critical purpose for the strategy and overlapping capabilities to ensure mission succeeds. SWAT team.

[@Icyglare]

@kuzia1984 It is boxer, this exact game was shown on TV, it's boxer versus a battle.net player

[@Umgijus]

Man i totally forgot that medics had a flare. That is so neat

[@BerendBotje123]

Nice commentary, even if it's an old game. It's great to see this stuff again :) Thanks for doing this.

[@zenartanis]

very entertaining man!! i have a special suggestion for a commentary. it is the pimpest play in which Boxer floats his CC at the very begining of the match. i believe it was at a final tournment. and he ends up losing, but the play is insane!!! i hope you like my suggestion bro! me and my friends appreciate a lot your commentaries!

[@AlexTechie]

LMAO at using the engineering bay to cover up the nuclear silo. As if you're opponent is really going to be in the dark about what structure could possibly be to the right of your CC that you don't want them to know about.

[@erikolson5284]

Dude. Love it! Come back! Make more videos

[@PseudoKnight]

I'm surprised this was a Pimpest Play considering the skill level of the other player. If it wasn't Boxer, it probably wouldn't have made the list. Still, it's somewhat entertaining.

[@jiggen87]

Great commentary, love this game =). What is that replay thing that shows multikills and APM?

[@jzero4813]

it's a pro game from 2002 - everyone was a beginner then, even the pros

[@NapalmFlame]

that has to be the most incredible engineering bay ever.

[@shoutenry]

LOL 4:59 Probe's like "Dude, what the HELL just happened?!?!"

[@SuperSources]

@Z7ONY Boxer (or that Terran player) saw the Robotics and moved the science vessel close enough to detect any observers coming out. One would only assume that the enemy will way point the observer toward the area of the battle, where the ghost is most likely hiding, and not in the opposite direction.

[@kittyjoker]

EMP tips off your nuke location. if the toss was any good he would have moved his probes out of the way, and/or dealt with the ghost better.

[@DArtagnonW]

It's not quite the same, but the recent Boxer vs. NC Yellow might feature a nuke or two.

[@MegaBeanz]

lmfao @ boxer hiding his nuke silo with the bay XDDDD

[@Kingdweeb1]

The nuke's red dot is already visible to all players that can see where it would be. ^_^

[@LightSpectra]

I like those super-risky but successful gambles. Reminds me of Napoleon.

[@xtra7765]

Thanks, but how would you determin something like that, and what would you think the average apm per minute be in an average player?

[@SuperSources]

@Thomsedrengen Those are Probes, not Drones :P. I don't think noobs even think about running their workers, probably because of the pressure and panic of being nuked themselves. Or maybe the toss was concentrating on trying to kill "Boxers" 1 Drop-ship army.

[@Zodiacx10]

l o o k s l i k e

[@trigunxvash10]

it's as if boxer was like, "eh...i feel like playing some noob and pwning him to the max today." LOL!

[@darksniperdragon]

You don't know how many of those 818 actions weren't just random hotkey cycling.

[@uzernam302]

hey, what is that app that lets you see apm during a replay? and where do you get replays from pro games? (i downloaded a couple from random places but they turned out to be total bs, with players like "nal_ra" having 80 apm and 30 idle probes at a time =p)

[@CholeraSC]

yea my dog was expressing her distaste at the protoss's play ^^

[@stevent430]

omg how the hell did the protoss get to play in the pro scene... apm of 64...

[@COnCOrd762]

How cool... To bad Cholera ain't doing any commentarys no more.

[@Ritchstorm]

@greenjack7922 I quote from Wikipedia: "Release date(s)Windows 31 March 1998 Mac OS March 1999"

[@Satanperkele]

that protoss player plays just like I did.. when I was 7.

[@amineaiffa]

Its supposed to be. It's part of the "Pimpest Plays" series. With a title like that, I don't think bias was a negative thing lol.

[@1bugleboi1]

@crazeh LOL, i was checking out my comments out of the blue! i was actually saying "Crazy" with an accent, didnt aactually expect there was someone close to that name. funny coincidence.

[@darkjeshush]

good ol days of lost temple

[@lagerbaer]

Nice to see some unorthodox play :D

[@IcyHail]

this is like the most one sided commentary i have ever seen

[@vivavaldez87]

A few things here... it looks like this is a very old game - with today's strategies this wouldn't work, furthermore, the protoss player (while probably better than all of us commenting on this) is a relative novice compared to Boxer by the looks of this replay. Not demeaning Boxer at all, this was just a bad strategy perfectly played to make it almost good :P he just wanted to humiliate with nukes :)

[@slyfoot]

In the same respect.. he says "Don't mind the scv, it's just an observer" so that answer your question.

[@Mimerneos]

that was a good commentary in a way

[@BlackMagister]

It was impressive but it seemed more like Protoss was at fault since he didn't even try to scout with his observer.

[@armoric]

@Skjoldvall And it was in 2002, where metagame was totally different and mechanics, level of skill, apm etc. had nothing to do with nowadays standards. Not to mention pimpest plays also recommend innovation and creativity.

[@FizzleFX]

why dont some more pro empnuke?

[@Stevintage]

the replay has ended!

[@davideoman1000]

the other protoss player didnt move his probes to the gas until like 5 mins later...

[@timmeg]

this has to be like a starter battlenet opponent.

[@xtra7765]

dont flame me but....whats apm? i play sc but i never heard that before. Does it have something to do with the population limit?

[@Mikyeong]

they didnt move because he thought he could get it but boxer blinded the observer so he knew hes scrood and that point he already lost

[@City.of.Rancho.Cucamonga]

Excellent video. Well done.

[@Avenger222]

there was a gg btw =) you just can't see it because it's a replay.

[@alucard449]

if you ever played old school SC when boxer was king and everyone played LT you would understand why the protoss put that DT there. Terran used to love to leap frog tank from 9 to 6.

[@Roochfan20]

Boy, what did that Terr@n-[NES] dude said to Boxer that got him so pissed off at the guy that he would resort to going nukes on this noob?

[@userasdf]

Wonder why the other guy didn't even move his probes away when the nukes were landing. Did he suck that much?

[@CJones13]

dude rounders is like my favorite movie nice dude, is it me or is it that a lot of sc players play poker, I know for me that is certainly the case I play like every week, you're making rounders references, TL has a poker sister forum and the one white guy who played in the korean leagues, that french guy is now a pro poker player!

[@CholeraSC]

Advloader - but, it doesn't work for 1.15.3 or higher.

[@numbers93]

BoxeR just loves nuking Purple Toss doesn't he?

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

@greenjack7922 you couldn't possibly have had it in 96 that was when they started developing the game when it was referred to as "warcraft in space" you should google "starcraft 1 alpha".

[@inkatha2000]

he's commentating on a video almost everyone has seen...What else do you expect him to say?

[@EagleInFlames]

"looks like, looks like, looks like"

[@vanillacrem3]

Sometimes it's best to just ignore the tools.

[@dihsu1]

I wonder how Boxer agreeded to play against this dude.

[@thecraneapparel]

Great commentary!

[@avinotion]

today people will say this guy rage quit

[@yoshi360360]

floating bay over nuke silo... that made me laugh

[@MrAndersonmm]

Lol love the Teddy KGB reference...

[@64wy4x8s]

@ 6:10 was that your dog barking?

[@slyfoot]

Who was the blue terran? Uh read the title of the video.

[@42vincent42]

i dont know anything bout the starcraft scene so excuse me if im wrong, but ... " back in 2002, when starcraft just began ..." ... just doesnt sound correct considering the fact that it was released in 1998

[@CholeraSC]

Yea, that's probably why this game didn't make it higher than #5 on the 02 PP list. Boxer could've beat this guy with one hand probably...

[@Tom0000]

nalra was good, but his apm wasnt good. so basically he was a great player despite his low apm. regarding nada or stork, their average apm is around 340. look up julyzerg. his average apm during his heyday was around 410

[@Womack51]

Beautiful !

[@digimon969]

Did i just hear a old guy yell "AH" at 6:09 ...? or is it just me? Thumbs up if you hear it too!

[@limeonaid]

it is called apmlive. you can download chaoslauncher which includes it. btw that toss is a noob? 64 apm.. jokes?

[@marinekite49]

was that a dog at 6:08......?

[@Bulmedius]

he said for that moment when he got nuked didnt he?

[@DaRealGozu]

jeah boxers fucking nuke rush :D

[@brainwasher9876]

5:17 you just lost almost all your probes and are almost out of minerals, and you send the ones you have left to GAS?

[@CH0RUS]

it is boxer

[@brainwasher9876]

I enjoyed your comment very much.

[@KZHI2ALL]

haha same here volume was up and all of a sudden "WOOF"

[@BOnEhEAdD]

The Nexus cant be taken out by one nuke after EMP o.o it will stil have 251 HP left..

[@Mustango5]

6:10 It's the Daugalisk!

[@thedavidcake]

July had 818 APM once.

[@ltctofu]

Great video... BUT~! I hate how the speaker starts clicking on random unnecessary objects through-out the entire replay. He could have done it more professionally.

[@evix88]

yeh, you say looks like alot, other then that good commentery

[@hydelun92]

...stop saying you are sorry for missing the scenes -_- if u did, maybe you should've shot another vid

[@m3talmilitia15]

This was soo full of win.

[@hi19hi19]

Nice slow-mo, haha

[@avinotion]

lol i remember the original copy... some good times

[@cougher0]

good commentary

[@OmniEulogy]

@shadowy781 He corrected himself.

[@hannes0000]

its to late if you see it coming

[@tamerelapute2]

toss is 65 apm, nothing else to say :(

[@xmadnessmanx]

wtf? 60 apm? i don't spam apm and my average apm is always over 100... really good commentary though!
